Sweet Subterfuge의 모든 챕터: 챕터 71 - 챕터 80

Any sense of drowsiness vanished entirely, and Larissa was very much awake.She no longer had the mood to read the rest of the messages and retrieved her tablet from the bedside table drawer. She then found last night's episode of "The Mediators Room".Travis' parents arrived at the set as the "mediation representatives". They had mournful looks on their faces, and they looked fragile too. Janine's eyes were also red from crying, and she could only squint through the swelling.The host asked, "What would you like me to mediate for you?" Before he had even finished, Janine had already begun to wipe at her tears."I… I just want…" she sniffled. "I just want to apologize…to apologize to my daughter-in-law."Dick sighed and gently patted her back, his face filled with melancholy.The host retrieved some tissues and passed them over. "Try to calm down, and then tell us in detail what misunderstanding there is between you and your daughter-in-law."Janine wiped at the tear tracks on h

Janine lowered her head to sob again, and Dick continued playing his role of comforting his "grieving" wife. The scene panned over to the host."Based on the rules of our show, we would have invited the other party, that is, Ms. Levange's daughter-in-law to be present to talk about her anguish and grievances and mediate the misunderstandings between both parties from there. But when our editors went to Ms. Levange's daughter-in-law's workplace and explained the situation to her to invite her on to the show, we received the following response as shown—"They showed a video clip that displayed a familiar background that Larissa knew. It was her office at the hotel, and she was shown in the clip too—however, it was just her body from the neck down. From the angle, it was clear that this was covertly taken, and there was a caption acknowledging that the video clip was taken through unusual means on the bottom left corner of the clip.The video showed pretty much everything that had happ

"Apologies, Ms. Seymour." Despite the supposed apology, the person's tone was haughty. "After the episode in which your in-laws appeared went viral, our production team has been getting more than ten calls per day. Our schedules are now fully packed till the end of the year. If you don't mind being aired late, I can make a registration for you. Someone will inform you of your shooting date by then."Larissa knew all too well that she had offended the whole production crew with her harsh words then, so their deliberately difficult attitude was to be expected."No need for the trouble," she said. She only meant to try her luck by making this call. If it did work, then it would be for the best; but if it didn't, she still had an alternative.Working in hotel management may be difficult, but the best part about it was accumulating a network of connections she could reach out to—especially at a seven-star hotel like the Regal Dynasty where most of its guests were boss-level players.Lar

Dylan did not respond to her question, however."Your friend hasn't made it, right?" He grinned like he knew everything.A little stunned, Larissa shot back instinctively, "How did you know?""At this time, the elevators are packed with people. For Floor 45… I suppose even if the elevator's coming down from the top, it wouldn't stop there."Other than that, it was her reaction after receiving her friend's text—she did not go inside but decided to buy coffee. That meant that she would still be waiting for quite a long time."Why don't you tell your friend to stay where she is? We'll send you guys up. You can try our company's coffee too. It's way better than any coffee you could buy out there!" Dylan looked proud.Larissa was not comfortable enough to say yes. "We'll just park ourselves at Starbucks for a while. You and Mr. Rogers can go about your business!""We just came down here for a walk. There's no business to be had." Dylan was very sincere, but Larissa was doubtful of hi

Larissa looked up frantically at Zero, who gave her a reassuring look in return. Bracing herself against the table with one hand, Zero bent down to look at the camera."I won't be streaming games today," she said seriously. "I just want to take up a little bit of your time, to borrow a bit of your power to seek justice for my Lady Luck."The phrase "Lady Luck" was always something Zero said whenever she played tournaments back then."I called my Lady Luck last night; we will definitely win this tournament!""If my Lady Luck said we can get the championship, we WILL get the championship!"The fans who had followed Zero from the beginning knew that this Lady Luck was someone she saw as someone more important than her own teammates, and Larissa made quite a deep impression on them when she spent a thousand dollars on 100 Tier 2 Gift Subs on Zero's first stream.The comments went a little wild."Woah man! We finally get to meet Lady Luck today!""She's Lady Luck indeed!""Bro Zero
